THE  West-Saxon  Psalms  (as  the  prose  portion  of  the 
*  Paris  Psalter  *  is  here  named)  have  been  accessible  hitherto 
only  in  the  unique  manuscript  and  in  the  first  edition,  now 
long  out  of  print,  which  was  prepared  by  Benjamin 
Thorpe  in  the  year  1835. 

The  present  edition  will  be  completed,  as  the  title-page 
announces,  with  an  Introduction,  in  which  all  preceding 
study  of  these  Psalms  will  be  reviewed,  and  some  prob- 
lems relating  to  the  character  and  to  the  sources  of  the 
version  will  be  carried  beyond  their  present  state.  But 
hindrances  to  be  overcome  in  tracing  records  through  rare 
books  have  delayed  the  final  revision  of  some  chapters  of 
this  Introduction  j  the  whole  of  it  has  therefore,  for  a  short 
time,  been  withheld  from  publication.  In  the  meanwhile 
the  newly  edited  text  may  be  welcomed  in  a  limited  edition 
of  advanced  copies.  The  entire  series  of  the  Rubrics  and 
the  carefully  selected  text  of  the  entire  series  of  the  Argu- 
menta,  which  constitute  the  immediate  source  of  both  the 
Rubrics  and  the  Anglo-Saxon  Introductions,  will  surely 
be  accepted  as  indispensable  ;  and  the  readings  of  the  se- 
cond copy  of  the  Introductions  (MS.  Cotton,  Vitellius  E. 
XVIII)  will  be  observed  with  some  share  of  the  interest 
that  is  elicited  by  fresh  discoveries. 

The  Bibliography  has  been  presented  in  an  analyzed  form 
and  with  such  descriptive  detail  as  will  assist  in  the  appre- 
hension of  the  several  parts  of  a  far-reaching  and  somewhat 
complex  problem. 

It  should  also  be  added  that  an  attempt  will  be  made  to 
give  in  the  Introduction  a  more  complete  account  of  the 

256375 


recently  found  portions  of  a  Latin  version  of  Theodore  of 
Mopsuestia's  Commentary  on  the  Psalms  than  can  be  ob- 
tained from  what  its  discoverer,  Dr.  Giovanni  Mercati, 
has  as  yet  published  concerning  it.

THE   TEXT 

The  text  of  this  edition  of  the  West-Saxon  Psalms  (the  prose  por- 
tion of  the  *  Paris  Psalter  ')  is  a  copy  of  the  manuscript,  Bibliotheque 
Nationale,  Fonds  latin,  8824  (MS.),  conservatively  edited.  The 
use  of  capitals,  the  punctuation,  and  the  quantity-marks  of  the  vo- 
wels are  independent  of  the  original  j  otherwise  every  deviation  from 
it  is  indicated  by  italics,  which  constitute  references  to  the  foot-notes 
for  the  complete  record  of  the  reading.  In  these  notes  are  also  re- 
ported all  deviations  from  the  manuscript  in  Thorpe's  edition  (TA.) 
or  in  Tanger's  collation.  Bracketed  words  supply  omissions  due  to 
the  scribe,  and  daggers  mark  the  removal  of  his  mistaken  insertions. 

The  Rubrics  have  been  transferred  from  the  position  following  to 
that  preceding  the  Introductions.  Here  the  orthography  of  the  man- 
uscript has  been  retained. 

The  second  copy  of  the  Introductions,  found  in  MS.  Cotton, 
Vitellius  E.  XVIII  (F),  imperfect  because  of  damage  by  fire,  is 
represented  in  the  supplied  omissions,  emendations,  and  variant  read- 
ings of  these  paragraphs. 

The  text  of  the  Argumenta  is  based  on  a  collation  of  MS.  Biblio- 
theque Nationale,  Fonds  latin,  12,273  (^)»  anc*  ^e  P"nted  texts  in 
the  Basel  edition  of  Bede,  1563,  Tom.  VIII  (B)  and  in  the  Opera 
Omnia  of  Thomasius,  1748,  Tom.  Ill  (T)t  variant  readings,  except 
some  unimportant  differences  in  orthography,  being  noted  in  paren- 
theses. The  variations  from  the  text  of  Thomasius  cited  by  Vezzosi 
from  Blanchinus  (Blanch.),  and  the  variations  (unauthorized)  of 
Migne's  text,  Pat.  Lat.  XCIII  (M),  from  the  Basel  edition  are  also 
recorded.  The  different  elements  of  these  Argumenta  have  been 
distinguished  as  (a)  historical  explanation  ;  (b)  mystical  title  and 
liturgical  note  ;  (c)  comment,  usually  mystical.
